Copy Current XYZ Data

The Copy Current XYZ Data option in the Edit menu copies the current data table to the Windows clipboard as ASCII text, in the Lotus WK1 format, and in the Lotus WK3 format.

The ASCII data will contain 15 digits of precision, the WK1 format 15-16 digits, and the WK3 format offers the full 19 digits. The text format separates the numeric columns with white space rather than tabs. It is used when you paste the data table into a text-based program, such as a word processor.

When you paste the data table into Excel, the WK1 format is used. When either Lotus Windows or Quattro Pro Windows is the destination, the full precision WK3 format is used, although only Lotus Windows will preserve TableCurve 3D's 19 digit precision.

This option is limited only by available memory and can copy up to TableCurve 3D's 16384 data table maximum.
